LIFESKILLS
The purpose of our 19 LIFESKILLS is to provide structures for students to evaluate their own performance and gain an understanding of which social behaviors will enhance their success. These differ from school rules in that they apply to all age groups in all situations throughout life, thus the term LIFESKILLS.
